As originally reported from Anime News Network…
The Karakuridōji Ultimo manga will come to it’s conclusion on July 19th, 2015 in Japan. It’s been working it’s way towards a conclusion for the last couple of months, and it’s as close to a “natural” end one could expect for the series. This means that the Ultimo series will be a total of 12 compiled volumes. Expect that volume 12 will be released in Japan around August or September (though no dates have been announced yet). Viz Media will most likely continue with it’s yearly releases of Ultimo (because of low sales) and will most likely release volume 11 this year, and volume 12 next year in English.
One un-related, but interesting factoid…. is that the magazine Ultimo was currently being published in, Jump SQ 19, will be going through a redesign. In July with the final chapter, the magazine will get a new name. With Shaman King Zero & Flowers both ending in Jump X (Kai), Hiroyuki Takei is starting to leave a wake of magazines in his path (though completely un-related)!
Jumbor is his only co-authored series running right now, and that’s also rumored to end sometime this year. That series is a bit farther away from a “natural” end, so this could be several months away. Hiroyuki Takei will also be starting his new series based on Hajiime Tokuda’s Dash! Yonkurō in the new magazine Corocoro Aniki on March 15th. We’ll be following that new series for any developments.
